Trying to convince the Snook that he should make us a timpano for Christmas dinner, using Stanley Tucci’s recipe from his book Taste.
New dining room set!
After more than 20 years of having the same timber dining room set, today we sold it and set up the new one. SCHMICK!! 😍
Riddle Me Gifts at Moore Park Christmas Markets
My friend Kristin mentioned on Facebook yesterday that she would have a stall at the Moore Park Christmas Markets, and she asked if anyone could come cover her for a bit at lunchtime. I volunteered! So I’m helping to sell her very clever 3D-printed puzzle gift boxes.
Don’t be a creep, Mr. Feynman.
After 10 days of tech conference, *of course* I was going to come home on Friday night and watch a 3hr documentary on why Richard Feynman’s legacy is mostly BS. Who wouldn’t?

YOW Sydney 2024
In the end, I managed to see almost every talk at YOW 2024. Here are the final four talks I saw today…
Renovation update
Dirt!! This is only like 10% of the total area, but it’s a good reminder of the fact that plants will eventually be growing here.
YOW Sydney 2024
Much like Pokemon, I’m trying to catch all the YOW speakers! Today I added 4 more to my collection in Sydney…
Retirement
People on social media keep implying that I’m doing retirement incorrectly. I suspect they expected me to become a complete homebody and retire from public life? 🤷♀️ But really, it means I don’t have a full-time job and I spend my time how I like. Some days I’m helping out at a tech conference; other days I’m in my PJs playing videogames or in my craft room making something. After six years of doing pretty much nothing but AWS, it’s nice to pick and choose. I contain multitudes, people. 😂
Sydney Festival 2025
As soon as we got back to Sydney, we had to dash off to attend orientation for Sydney Festival volunteers. I’m looking forward to helping out with this fantastic event in January!
Later, Brissie!
That’s two cities down, one to go for this year’s YOW conference! See ya, Brissie… 👋
